I Found When I Was A Child

There Are Always Two Deaths, The Real One And The One People Know About.

I Sit At My Window And The Words Fly Past Me Like Birds — With God's Help I Catch Some.

I Often Want To Cry. That Is The Only Advantage Women Have Over Men — At Least They Can Cry.

Every Word I Say Has Chains Round Its Ankles; Every Thought I Think Is Weighted With Heavy Weights. Since I Was Born, Hasn't Every Word I've Said, Every Thought I've Thought, Everything I've Done, Been Tied Up, Weighted, Chained? And Mind You, I Know That With All This I Don't Succeed. Or I Succeed In Flashes Only Too Damned Well. ...but Think How Hard I Try And How Seldom I Dare. Think - And Have A Bit Of Pity. That Is, If You Ever Think, You Apes, Which I Doubt.

They Say When Trouble Comes Close Ranks, And So The White People Did.
